Having looked at both modern and transitional chairs this week, do you find yourself pining for something a bit more traditional? If so, take a look at a couple of these options:

This beautiful occasional chair from Lexington’s new collection features stunning wood detailing in the back. Pick any fabric you like for the seat!

This cute-as-can-be simple chair is stunning (and don’t you love that button tufted front!!!).

This petite upholstered chair by Lexington features traditional mainstays: turned legs and tufting. Wouldn’t it be adorable in a velvet?

Lorts Furniture has won my heart again with this beautiful skirted chair. The wood provides a perfect accent, creating a sweet heart “neckline” at the top. They even make a version large enough for you and your sweetheart to share!

Traditional taste doesn’t have to mean stuffy and uncomfortable! Enjoy one of these fresh pieces!

If your coffee table is about to make you scream due to its sheer lack of creativity, take a peek at a few of these “think outside the box” upgrades:

If you’re a dinner around the coffee table kind of mom, this classically styled piece will be perfect. The table, from Paula Deen’s collection, rises and falls for TV dinners and homework.

This piece, made by Lorts, is the perfect hybrid between a coffee table and an ottoman.
The driftwood finish is ultra-trendy right now. Pick up this beautiful steel topped Lexington piece and add it to your collection!
This sophisticated, streamlined Lexington piece would look great in a more contemporary interior.
This Sherrill Occasional coffee table has a couple of ottomans that tuck conveniently in the corners. Pull them out for extra seating in a pinch!

When scouting for furniture, it’s important to have an eye for quality. What features are marks of quality and craftsmanship in the pieces Eheart carries? What sets us apart from a local furniture warehouse?

Our upholstery features:

· Durable, kiln dried hardwood frames, not plywood or particle board

· Mortise and tenon joinery, not butt joints and staples

· Sinuous wire springs

· Premium filled cushions, with your choice of poly, down blend, or down fill.

· Flow matched upholstery, so your pattern matches across the entire body of the piece

· Fully upholstered arms and cushions mean superior seam quality and the ability to flip your cushions

· An endless selection of fabrics, leathers, and trimmings so you can personalize your sofa, chair, or ottoman to be just the way you like it!

Our casegoods feature:

· Dovetail construction on drawers

· Drawer stops to keep drawers from going too far in or out

· Full extension wood on wood or metal drawer glides

· Multi-step finishing for a beautiful, layered finish

And, many pieces feature great little extras, like:

· Cedar lined drawers keep your knits in great shape

· Wire management, charging stations, and power ports make it easy to charge your phone or iPod

· Touch lighting means just a tap of your bedside table and your lamp will come on

Today is the day to bring your sofa off of the wall and try it out a different way. This week, we’re showing you ways to Rethink your furniture arrangement. You don’t have to settle for a sofa with an end table on either side and matching lamps! It’s time to think about your options (you have them, we promise!!).

Today, let’s chat about a little design term called Radial Symmetry. What this means is simply that your room is symmetrical from a central axis point. Take a look at this furniture layout, for example:

Four cozy chairs surround a round tufted ottoman. The lake view is still clear, because tall furniture pieces have been avoided and the pieces have been scaled in their width. The traffic pattern of this odd space is not interrupted because the seating is kept clustered around a circular ottoman (a coffee table would work as well).

Uncomfortable with round? No big deal. The same concept would work with pieces that feel a bit more rectilinear. Perhaps a longer rectangular ottoman would work between 4 of these chairs:

With a layout that displays Radial Symmetry, one key is utilizing pieces that are beautiful, even from behind. Choosing unique chairs that have just as much to offer from back as they do from the front will create a wow factor that invites people into your fun out of the box furniture arrangement.

Try it out and let us know how you do. Stay for more ideas all this week!
